Chosen Title:
BA (Hons)
Professional Practice in Arts (Creative Arts in Education)
Explanation:
Since my work
as a part-time tutor during my Acting career, I have been fascinated by the way
incorporating the Dramatic Arts into my lessons engages and impacts young
people. I currently teach Music in a Primary School, as well as covering various
lessons within the school curriculum and running a Drama Club. I have been able to
use a variety of skills developed from my profession in Acting, and feel as
though I have been able to use it effectively in my teaching so far. However,
there is still further I want to go with this investigation and I aim to
continue enhancing children from all different backgrounds through the Creative
Arts. I eventually want to train as a teacher and feel that my knowledge of the
Creative Arts and the impact it has on Education will enhance my chances of
undertaking all the extra-curricular activities within schools, such as
concerts, productions and assemblies, making me a teacher who many 'strings to my bow.' However, I also want to see how I can my
skills in the Arts to enhance the current curriculum, including lessons such as
English. They often say that the one thing you have to have as a teacher is a
great imagination, creating engaging lessons whilst aiming to reach children with various
backgrounds and abilities. I am currently using the Creative Arts everyday within
my teaching and feel that by having the 'Creative Arts in Education' as my specialism, I am showing not
just my knowledge of Educational and Curricular Practice, but also Extracurricular and Creative Practices
too and the importance of both, side by side.
